No servant calls upon Allah with a call in which there is no sin and no severing of family ties, but that Allah gives him one of three things: either his call is hastened for him in this world, or it is stored for him in the Hereafter, or He averts from him an evil equal to it.
ما من عبد يدعو الله بدعوة، ليس فيها إثم، ولا قطيعة رحم إلا أعطاه الله بها إحدى ثلاث: إما أن تعجل له دعوته في الدنيا، وإما أن تدخر له في الآخرة، وإما أن يصرف عنه من الشر مثل ذلكAllah is more.
